Organic grape cultivation eschews the use of synthetic fungicides, herbicides, fertilizers and other artificial processes. The wines themselves are regulated through legislation that can vary from country to country. One of these certification challenges is derived from the USA, where wine and food are conflated under organic regulations. There, in order to protect various food products, the term 'organic wine' can't be applied because of the sulphur present, resulting in the designation 'made from organic grapes'. We encounter that in NZ when the producer labels both their domestic and exported product with the one label.
Fragrant aromas of red fruits and white pepper introduce a palate of rich red fruits and blackberry notes. A flavour-some and generous wine with spicy hints, refined tannins and a clean, lingering finish.
